I went out Sunday afternoon while the kids were napping and picked up the latest and greatest Mario Kart game for the Wii.

I'd just like to point out that it's awesome.

Go buy it.

Instead of writing a review myself, allow me to point you to one that's far better and more thorough than I'd ever be able to do: Ars Technica Review of Mario Kart Wii.

Happy reading!
